for iggles interest, saw barnwell did a column about wentz being legit. i haven't read it, might be terrible. all i know is wentz looked great this time last year too and then was trash over the the back half of the season so i'll need to see a full season out of him. he does look v good tho.

damn hate to see fozzy whittaker go down

cam is good again

cam is bad again

wentz has giant balls

don't know enough to know how their drafting is going, but howie is killing it on the pro personnel front, they've picked up too many really solid players the last couple years

the line is looking pretty exposed w/ lane johnson out. gotta hope vaitai can step it up.

this defense tho

love going for 2!!

wow that was stupid

no idea how that wasn't a TD originally

i like the eagles talent a lot but there's something missing in their offense scheme-wise

panthers have gotten away with 2 blatant pass interferences this half

panthers always try to move the ball in big chunks instead of taking higher % completions and working down the field. then you see cam somehow overthrow a dump off and maybe that's why.

jfc

yeah their offense ideally is good running + downfield shots. right now they don't have the running.

related; mccafferey looks like a j.a.g. to me. i don't really see the appeal.

amazing game

let's go!!

this is the secondary w/out darby or sidney jones

2 shocking drives

really bad situational football to see this one out

I've been busy and really have not watched only a few minutes of the Bears game week 1, so I haven't had much to say. My fantasy team has only been edited one time in Week 2 and I'm 3-2 right now, so maybe I was the problem.

did you see any of trubisky's coming out? i take it as a sign that the football world at large believes the bears are due a good qb that ppl were so ready to get excited after 1 decent drive.

for anyone interested in punt return blocking, and really who isn't, there's a very in-depth video bit with belichick in the 2nd half of this, including a bonus throwback to troy brown's score on a return in the 2001 afc champs game

This Fins offense is like the worst of the post-Marino era. Scoring is this rare thing that happens only when they're gifted it.

Cutler not entirely at fault this game but I still think its Moore time.

How many first half shutouts can you endure? Ajayi running well too.

Please be okay Aaron

^

Looking like a broken collarbone again baaaarf

wtf McCarthy how do you not challenge that you idiot

Oh wait he didn’t have a challenge left this game is so stupid. Would’ve gotten reversed in two seconds.

Lol Miami back in it

arodg :(

oh no rodgers :`(

what was that call on the jets even. what!!

Can’t believed that was overturned

Sooo GB should go get Kaep right

how is the pats defense so bad

TOUCHBACK!

(We don't have gif for that).

HOLY SHIT MIAMI

I am told that @Kaepernick7 has filed a grievance under the CBA for collusion against the owners. If accurate, this is huge.

NFL lost 3 of its top 4 bankable super stars to injury this week

couldn't have happened to a league more worthy of our fandom

who else got injured this week besides rodgers? are you including watt in this week?

And Odell

watt and Odell yeah

FALCONS GOT OUTCOACHED AFTER A BYE AND DOLPHINS COACHES WERE DOING RAILS OF BLOW

😂😂😂

wow, 90 pts in that lions sants game, 5 defensive TDs

at least the NFL still has antonio brown

The Browns may not win a game this year. Two things the "analytics" era has taught me:

1. Trading up or down NEVER EVER works out.
2. Don't go for "value", just take the best player available.

And now if Pro Football Talk is to be believed it looks like everybody's getting fired at the end of this year and we're having yet another regime change. Sigh. At least Myles Garrett is good.

Watched a bit of the Browns/Texans between naps and it seemed like each time Cleveland would get a first down on a pass it would get called back on a holding call. O-line is looking pretty bad, which they used to have a pretty good one.

wow that was dumb

Bears channeling 1979 with their offense with 50 rushes by their top two RBs with only 16 passes. That is a Bob Avellini, Walter Payton & Matt Suhey box score.
